We also have crackers in England and I can't get them here, and they can't be sent by post, so I make my own for the children (minus the 'banger' bit)....I was thinking of doing a mini tutorial next week......(they're very easy but I'd kind of like to see if I can do a 'tutorial' type post)......LOVED your post today!

We of course have crackers here in England, I believe that they originated here. They are a lot of fun and one of the things that I really missed when I lived in America too! I hope that you can perhaps find some one day! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-36830694755957816532014-12-16T12:05:30.192-06:002014-12-16T12:05:30.192-06:00I deleted my last comment because I had it mixed u...I deleted my last comment because I had it mixed up. LOL. The original list said the Christmas tree reveal was next but when I copied the title pictures it had the home country as Day 16 and the tree reveal at Day 17. No big deal. I see everyone else is doing the Christmas tree reveal so I guess I'll do that too. :-)Dawn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604954768769767737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-69799782469235852892014-12-16T11:49:59.997-06:002014-12-16T11:49:59.997-06:00It's so neat learning about other cultures and...It's so neat learning about other cultures and how they observe Christmas!

It's just fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing and I loved your photos!<br /><br />I think there was mix up as on your original blogmas list today said Christmas tree reveal. So I had my post all done and went to find your icon for it and on your icon list from Blogmas Day 1 post you had the countries post listed next. So I just stuck with the original list and did my tree reveal as I don't have a home country to share. Hope that's ok!<br /><br />Thanks Hon! xocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-33021660187515454492014-12-16T11:35:57.872-06:002014-12-16T11:35:57.872-06:00I've found Christmas crackers at Cost Plus Wor...I've found Christmas crackers at Cost Plus World Market (if you have one near you in ID) and at our Smith's (Kroger) grocery store! Smith's has them out closer to New Year's Eve but I bet you could find them before Christmas.

Many of the things you described for Christmas we did when I was a kid also, but they were more spread out through the entire holiday. like the cake was for Epiphany on the 6th. I really miss nativities here - when I was a kid they were more prominent with many churches doing living nativities and centering their programs around it.threesidesofcrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03680623585443980958noreply@blogger.com
